In Reply to: My dentist says SOFT toothbrush, never firm! - Paying the Price for yesterday's folly.
how you have cavities due to a hard toothbrush? I mean, cavities are caused by not brushing.
And root issues due to a hard brush? Again, I'm not disputing what you are saying, but enamel and gums are two completely different things.
And 2 minutes is the minimum that you should brush your teeth. The only thing I will retract in my post is the firm brush - medium is good -soft for sensitive teeth.

There is never a happy medium
This is my thoughts on this, I may be way off or something ........... but speaking as someone Middle Class let me tell you my thoughts.
There is never a happy medium. It's either Rich or Poor. Middle Class doesn't seem to get much of anything. Democrat Presidents say they are for the Middle Class, but they aren't.
You know how much more money we'll be getting a year, b/c of Obama? $23.00
We have several medical bills that are paid in small increments, because they are just "too high" for us to pay at once.
Yet, we make TOO MUCH money to get any assistance. Which I will never understand...........
But, someone who has chosen to never work a day in their life, they prefer bumming around on the street, doing drugs and selling drugs, get this free medical/dental care.
sorry, medium density fiberboard
It is what most furniture is made of nowadays. It is the chips and fiber of wood that are glued and pressure pressed to be sturdy.
If it is a bombe type you probably won't want to cover it. If using different cleaners on it absolutely will not get it off you will probably need to sand the varnish off and restain, or you could sand the whole thing and paint it. Did it bubble up or swell where the wet stuff was? That's one way to tell if it is MDF. If something wet sits there while the board will swell. You can sand that down.
Some furniture also is made of particle board or MDF and then has wood veneers on the sides and tops. This is a thin sheet of real wood, approx 1/8 inch, whether it be oak, mahogany, etc. You can purchase a sheet of veneer at places like Lowes, cut to size and glue that on with rubber cement. This is how a lot of wooden doors are made that are the light weight ones. Frame made with thing plyboard topped with a wood veneer.

Soft Paws (sm)

Wear a soft t-shirt for a while and
leave it in her favorite place to sleep so she will have your scent. Mine love to sleep on my clothes!
soft paws - yes they work :)
Hi,
I moved recently, and we brought my daughter's cat with us. There was no way we could do anything else with him. He is an older cat, and they have grown up together. We moved into a beautiful home, but there was no way I could bring myself to declaw him, especially at his age. It just wasn't an option. So, we researched what we could do for him, and we opted to "try" the Soft Paws. Well, they have been a godsend for us.
Some advice - you do have to clip their nails before putting the paws on, so you need a good clippers and need to be very careful for the vein that runs through the claw. If you are not comfortable trimming their nails, of course you could get it done professionally. The plastic covers slip on and are glued over the clipped nails. You do need to be very careful to get the proper size. They go by weight, and my cat actually needed the large - he didn't meet the weight, but he is a bigger cat, and his feet are just bigger :P. If they are too small, they come off very easily, and I think they are uncomfortable for the cat. Also, they do need to be replaced about every 2 months - they fall off eventually as the nail grows out, and you need to repeat the process. We find that it is worth it though, even with the little nail caps laying around on the floor occasionally! :P
My "furkid" adapted very well to the soft paws... so I would definitely consider them as an option. Hope this helped! :D
Yes, it is soft and scratches easy because...sm
bamboo is not really a wood, it is a grass turned into a *wood* - it scratches easily (kitty litter can scratch it) and so it's *shoes off* in my house. *laughs* I studied woods for 5 years before I made my choice, knowing all about it scratching easy but since my kids are ALL GROWN UP....no problem here. *S*
Our husky is getting soft, he is really good - sm
about coming in when called for the most part (not when he lived with my dad though). But on the cooler nights he tends to drag his feet coming in. Or just give me a look from down where he is lying on the deck ( you know how husky's are) and you know he is thinking I will coming in when I am darned ready to. I then check back in 5 or so minutes and he will come in then, so funny. I usually leave the dogs out until I am going to bed (11-12) and he runs right in and lays down on his dog bed and goes right to sleep. Need to start walking him though, he gained like 10 pounds this last year and he is a big boy as it is (85#-- does not look overweight though which is good, still has a nice waist just a little thicker than it should be) and he only has 3 legs so that is not good for him (2 front, 1 back). Maybe after dinner now that it is starting to cool down, way too hot before with all his fur.
I think sometimes men are not supposed to have a soft side
some think of as not being masculine but he shows me a calming, soothing, softened touch that I could just eat out of his hand. If he could bottle and sell, women would make him rich beyond his wildest. He is from a very large family, 11 in all and get this- none of the guys (around 7 or so), all married and not 1 divorce in the group! I think that speaks volumes- the range of age is from around 60s down to the upper 40s. I accused him of sprinkling gold dust in my eyes because years later still have that same feeling!

I have a soft spot for this story. sm
My aunt went through a similar story. She had a highschool sweetheart, but the families couldn't get along. So, Aunt went off to college, met and married. Had 2 boys. HS sweetie went to different college, met and married, had 3 kids.
They met at 30th HS reunion. Both divorced and alone, children grown up. Both lived in different states so decided to write back and forth via email. After a couple years, they moved closer to one another and started dating. A year later they were married.
They were very happy together and planned their retirement time to spend traveling the country in their RV. They got 5 happy years together, including 1 year of retirement. Aunt got very ill and died suddenly.
Moral of story: Life is shorter than you think. Do the best you can with what you have.
My mom painted hers a soft gold color
in the family room, and it looks great. If you have built-in cabinets in the same room, sometimes you'll see contrasting colors used for the inside back, and that can look interesting.
Hmm, hard water versus soft
Well might have thought about that but this was noticed as soon as the tile installed and has never been mopped so nothing like that. Heavens only knows where these little spots came from but definitely not water route.
My dentist says SOFT toothbrush, never firm!
All these years, everyone thought stiff brushes were better than soft, and the harder and longer you brushed, the better. WRONG! I now have lots of cavity and root issues going on because I have essentially worn off much of the enamel on my teeth between the gumline and the center of the tooth. Have had to have more cavities filled, as well as lots of restorative work. Now I use a soft baby's toothbrush!
Fixing a flat (soft drink, that is)....... (sm)
I do this one all the time: Ever leave half a Coke in the fridge, only to come back later and it's FLAT? I simply open up a new one and add some in with the flat stuff, and the result is actually a smoother, yet still carbonated soft drink. And then you haven't wasted half a can.
Coffee ice cream or soft serve vanilla
or chocolate case with fudge icing or butter cake with chocolate frosting or ... how many - just ONE?
yes I do, i like soft music, might even have on a CD of Frank Sinatra. Very calming. nm

I'd cook the rice first to make sure it's soft and edible
s
Soft high-quality black & red licorice bites.
Oh my gosh I found this kind that the store Target sells that are made in Australia, and they are just the best pieces of confection I have ever put in my pie hole.
Green bean casserole - need a soft veggie dish!
I just went on line and found ultra soft brushes from Oral-B and
a few others. I hope this helps someone. The pack of 6 was $18.99, I believe.
Roast up onions & peppers for fajitas. Make roll-ups out of them with soft
s
Rolls, dessert (some kind of soft pie or chocolate pie). Instead of potato salad, maybe sm
mashed potatoes since they are edentulous. Green bean casserole was a great idea. Corn casserole too is yummy.
Yeah, the True Blood series is basically like soft porn...
definitely not advisable for a 14 year old!!!
i understand
I have just become single again and have 2 kids. What I believe is that obviously we have spent so many years doing "kid stuff", going to the grocery, errands, etc. that we have a hard time hooking up with single guys because we lose sight of who we are beyond mom, household manager, etc. Try to remember or imagine what you would be doing if you didn't have kids and resosibilities or had time to do it. Whether it is rafting, reading and discussing things, being at a college class, hiking or some particular sport or interest(chess club, rock climbing, etc) you HAVE to make an effort to do these things, even if it constrained by time and $$hook up with a free group and devote a few hours a week to it. THEN eventually you'll be in the place to meet the person you would hang out with even if you weren't a mom.

I understand....
I worked away from home until just recently. The pressures to "donate" are horrible. My friend and I finally decided that we would allocate "X" amount of dollars for giving, once gone, the well was dry. Saying "NO" is not easy, and the repayment of debt falls in your lap.
You are probably more talented than you realize. Be creative if you work from home. Work hours while the children are asleep, or see if you can work split shifts to accomodate your children's schedule.
If you are unable to pay back on the taxes you owe right away, just attach a signed letter with your tax papers requesting a payment plan. You can set it up to reflect a reasonable monthly payment, include the first payment, and the IRS will work with you.
If you are incurring (sp?) debt, make sure that it is for something useful that is going to last for a while.
I understand what you are saying, but
I don't have a husband or significant other either, and when I did I still took out the trash, mowed the lawn, and what is snuggling? When the lump on the sofa was asked to leave, the only thing I missed was having to tell him to move to the other side.
I understand what you are saying, but did --sm
you read my post at all? How can one make *good food choices* when the govt. makes that impossible to do? I eat all organic these days, when ever possible. I eat lean red meat once a week. I eat a lot of veggies and fruits and try to find something that does not have HFCS in it...which is terribly difficult to do. It is a losing battle when all the cards are stacked against you. My vice is not food or overeating. My vice is what the govt inflicts on unsuspecting and disbelieving people who think that obesity is a choice...it isn't. and neither is diabetes or hypothyroidism. Good food choices do NOT override this condition. This condition was inflicted on me by money grubbing *professionals* who have their heads where the sun don't shine. If you think todays doctors and pharmaceuticals have our best interests at heart, you are an ostrich. Research it and do not *assume* that being overweight is a choice. it isn't. and simply making *good food choices* is not going to change that fact. JMO
He may not really understand what an IC is--sm
and he is concerned about future income, but really all he needs to be concerned with would be your income tax statement from last year. Personally I don't think he should need that type of letter, just proof of income, which would be tax statement. that is all. JMO
don't understand
If you bought a certain piece of furniture why is bidding involved and why does it have to be done on courthouse steps in the public and all that? By all means, do what the law says -- sure sounds like they're on your side. But getting a news station involved isn't a bad idea either. These people sound like crooks and the public needs to know. Even just a friend with a video camera to send a film of it all into a station with the hopes of a reporter followup to keep others from being tricked too. And I sure think you should get something for mental pain and aggravation and loss of interest on your money. 
From what I understand
nobody was "demanding" anything, they were making do just fine with the sinks. This was done because people complained about the sinks being used for this purpose. I guess I just don't get what the big deal is.
People are so afraid that immigrants are going to somehow take over the country, its like this big "us versus them" mentality- its just silly. What, are you worried that they will do what WE did when we "discovered" America to begin with? You know, we are all immigrants here when you think about it.
I understand about all that too
but they found no reason for my miscarriage and knowing all that still didn't help the pain or grief of losing the babies after trying for so long, and everybody doesn't just get pregnant again right after. I didn't. I was just blessed that God gave them to me in a diffent way
I do not understand what you mean?
A bite itself itches, you can scratch an itch but you cannot itch an itch. I would think that is a backwoodsy type statement if you said it.
I just don't understand this
First, my husband would not dare do this to me or my kids. This man obviously has no respect for anybody. And that is what I would tell your daughter's friend's parents, along with if it keeps up you'll divorce him! And I'd tell him the same exact thing. But if mine did this just once, I can assure you it would not happen again, after I got through with him.
What most of you do not understand
being as you are young and are able to work from home, years ago, well gosh as early as the early 90s, if I wanted a job and I had to have to raise children (not a single mother, a divorced woman) we had to work outside the house, did not have a choice. I am so very glad my kids are not in the toddler, preteen or teen years. The ones I see now are awful. Just in one of those box stores last night and I heard screaming, could tell not just 1 but several kids and finally here comes the mothers pushing and pulling several different ages of children along and the mothers, I guess, thought it was really cute that their kids could scream and act out like they were doing, the mothers actually smiling. Thank goodness, no more rug rats to raise.
You still don't understand. (sm)
A narcicist is not capable of being a friend. Divorcing him will be an insult to him and he will want to prove it is all your fault. Therefore you need a good lawyer to see if he can build a case to show that he is so bad for you and your children than he does not deserve visitation. You are going to need evidence, I'm sure.
Don't trust your own judgement the next time you are considering marriage - get a psychiatrist to evaluate any future husband for your own protection. You and your kids have been through enough, and I've read a lot of cases of women marrying the same type over and over again.
I understand
You have to feel that you've done everything possible to make your marriage work, so that if and when you decide to separate, it will be with the knowledge that there really isn't any other alternative for you.
The fact that your husband got excited about having a second chance is a good sign. Just don't let him slip back into his old ways. If he makes one demeaning remark to you, stop him cold in his tracks and tell him, "No more if you want this marriage to continue."
Be firm, be steady, and good luck!
I understand
But look what happened during Prohibition. And look at the availability of illegal drugs. It's a nice thought, but I don't think it would work. 
I don't really understand.............
I just know nothing would keep my mom from her grandchildren, even if she stopped speaking to her children and their spouses completely.
I think that is how I understand it, but
if someone else has them,(and how did they get them?) he (OJ) cannot just break-in to that person's room and take those items back. He should have notified the cops that this person had items belonging to him, stating the situation and go from there. I guess he thinks he is above the law after getting away with MURDER.
I'm not sure I understand what you
mean by associated, but it sounds like you did not pull the file from the disk into the transcription module. I did take a look under settings and then the files tab, where it shows the types of files ExpressScribe plays and where you check the box/es of the file types you will be transcribing. I did not see the one that you mentioned there, but just wanted to suggest that you could try converting the file using a program like GoldWave (free download) to something that is compatible. I usually convert to .wma files, which have always played fine on either of my modules (Olympus and ES).
Hope that helps, and good luck!
I understand....
I'm not telling everybody to not get it, just making sure they know all the side effects. I just tend to be overly cautious! :)
Hey, now I understand about no
respect by what you just wrote. You answered my question completely.
As I understand this...sm
these crosses were erected on PUBLIC land, not privately owned land. I can sure understand you being against roadside memorials though, in your situation, but this one is different, as it is public land and not hurting anybody..however, if it is violating some sort of state or city law, the laws should be adhered to, in my opinion.
I don't understand. Do you want to
leave him or stay with him. Sounds like you are miserable there. Maybe he was thinking the same thing and just afraid to be the first one to bring it up. If you are going to stay with him, then things have to change on BOTH sides.
I so understand, there too
 It is good to hear someone with the same problem as me. My daughter died 12 years ago and sometimes it just hits me real bad, a sound, a memory, a smell, and it all comes rushing back. No one can understand unless they too have lost a child. I feel for you. This time of year is always so hard.
I understand
Maybe he just wants more space and to get away from little brother - sounds like it's going to be a good situation for him - and probably his sister too..
I understand
I understand this, it is very frustrating, but it is also frustrating to have a child with asthma, who is 16 and very responsible, not be allowed to carry an inhaler with her at school, I had to appeal to the school board and get special permission, they gave in only after I, in no uncertain terms and with a not from an attorney, told them that if anything happened to her, they would be legally responsible. The kids are to leave inhalers in the office and if they need them, they are to contact the office - if you have an asthma attack, there is not time to go from one building to another and request your medication, sometimes I think the schools have no brains and they are in charge of our kids?
